    MOCA network as wired backhaul for Wifi

    The POE Filter I use (coming into the house): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KO5KHSQ/?tag=snbforums-20 and the splitter it plugs into (again, coming into the house): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017T9KF1S/?tag=snbforums-20

    MOCA network as wired backhaul for Wifi

    Your picture looks fine. My setup at home is 100% identical to yours (in that picture). I have a different Modem, not sure I can help with the frequencies (I just bought filter/splitters that others bought and it worked), Make sure your port splitter is MoCA aware too. I had to swap out the...

    Where do you go for router reviews?

    Agree with OE above. I have had to learn a lot about routers and basic networking. I am a complete uneducated networking person, having to decide what routers my relatives should get. I opted to have them get Google Nest, for simplicity, after a ton of research. For myself, that's...

    MoCA 2.5 - POE Filter Required?

    I hope I am understanding your question/thought correctly. I tend to think of a POE Filter as a reflector - like a mirror. In which, a signal does not get passed it, and merely reflects back from where it came (roughly speaking). In your case, secure traffic or not, I would feel much better...

    Upgrade NAS...How to migrate data?

    Over the years, I moved from Synology DS212J -> DS412+ -> DS1515+. Each time, I have done exactly what @L&LD mentioned, bought new drives keeping the old in place. They told me, "as long as you move drive bay 1 to drive bay 1 in the new set up , for each drive, it would work seamless". No...

    Please Recommend The Right Router

    100% agree with @Trip. Another thing to consider is if you can get most of your "stuff" on a wired connection (ethernet, MoCA). I did this, and quickly realized that an AC access point (or two) would work fine for my IOT devices and a few phones; the only devices not running wired. I went with...

    Orbi AC3000 - Worst router ever?

    I have/had an Orbi setup (not the model you have, but a smaller one). These are the lessons I have learned with mine: It remembers the last "backhaul" method configured. What this means, is depending on how you last had it configured, it will boot this way. It is not smart enough to switch...

    EdgeRouter 4 vs RT-AX88U

    My network is very simple. Only two people in the house, with only a handful of devices. I have no real need to have advanced features. What I do need is stability, as the better half of me works from home, and she is wireless. The Ubiquity WiFi seems rock solid. I am happy with it...

    EdgeRouter 4 vs RT-AX88U

    I went down the route of separating out the Access Point from the Router, much like the OP is talking about. I had setup an EdgeRouter 4 (still have it), and learned how to configure it (was not that bad, just took getting used to). In addition I used an Orbi Mesh to act as Access Points...

    Need some advice on Mesh strategy

    I think @Trip suggested (#4) a couple of modems that would work well, especially for the new speed increase. The Eero Pro is already a router (you could replace the XB6-A). I do not see a need to increase to 4 Eeros, unless you have obvious dead spots. I am going to be blasted for this (and I...

    Accessing FTP site using External IP Address, blocking

    Turns out, I believe, as I have the FTP server down right now; the current stable UDM firmware has an issue with Hairpinning/loopback Nat (?) when the IP Address is 192.168.1.1. They have a fix in a newer RC version of the framework. In the meantime, I moved my network to the 192.168.10.1...

    Accessing FTP site using External IP Address, blocking

    Correct, I have setup SFTP (port 6032) on my internal server. (attached picture). This has not changed, and works just fine. I have also attached the Port Forward Rule as well

    Accessing FTP site using External IP Address, blocking

    Hey there, Configuring my Dream Machine, and I have a FTP server sitting behind the firewall, address 192.168.1.5 port 6032 (SFTP). I added a Port Forwarding rule that maps to that, and thats all I have done in terms of the firewall/port fowarding. When I try to access the FTP server using...

    Choosing a low latency router for Xbox One X

    I kind of have to agree with @L&LD, in his original reply. The guy just asked for a router with low wired ping (latency) ... and maybe use-able wifi once in awhile. Use the ISP supplied Modem ... buy your wife a vacation .. or .. take my wife on a vacation - one of the two

    Want to upgrade current 3 router system to mesh (advice)

    I did the MoCA thing, cause I have Cable to every room in the house. My internet comes in over that line as well. For the adapters, I used the Actiontec ECB6200 from Amazon (two pack for now, but will add more as needed). I made a quick video just showing my MoCA network setup () if you want...

    Raid 5 question

    On Synology, I use the SHR-2 on a 5 bay model. I know its not a direct answer - but, if you have drives and eventually want to make more space without buying new everything .. use the SHR-1 or SHR-2, and add as you need. Copy off existing data from your Raid5 onto a back up, rebuild using...

    R7800 vs ER-4

    Yes. I set it up like your link. I have attached some pictures showing the setup. I have fiddled with which interfaces Eth0 to WAN (eth0.2) and its basically the same. OpenWRT by default setup the VLANs (I am not particulary smart enough yet to know how to setup a VLan on my own). EDIT...

    R7800 vs ER-4

    Installed SQM QoS on to OpenWRT for the R7800. I set the following Parameters: Interface: eth0.2 (wan, wan6) Download Speed: 230000 Upload Speed: 11000 Cake - Piece of cake; yielded the following: Download speed: 136000 (119000 at worse) Upload speed: 11000 fq_codel - simplest_tbf.qos...

    4+ bay NAS w/btrfs support

    I agree with @MichaelCG for most of his bullet points. I use a Synology DS1515+ (5 bays / Intel CPU). It is, by today's standards, an older setup. For me, its pure file storage in that I run it with 5 x 2 TB WD Reds in a SHR-2 configuration (EXT4). Yeah, I waste disk space. and I have...

    R7800 vs ER-4

    I dragged out the R7800, installed OpenWRT on it. Implemented my DHCP leases, Port Forwards, Custom DNS's., etc. I have not installed the SQM QoS package yet. I have to wait for a period of down time so I can swap out the ER 4 with this. I am just not that good yet to figure out how to add...
